Cardinal Franc Rodé, the Prefect of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, recently told Vatican Radio that his office has found "a certain ignorance, a certain lack of liturgical knowledge and training in young men and women religious." His dicastery is preparing a new document to promote "proper liturgical formation of religious."

After his recent clarification regarding the Apostolic Visitation of U.S. women religious, Cardinal Rodé, prefect of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, told Vatican Radio that the investigation was launched after hearing "critical voices from the United States", including one from an "important representative of the Church in the United States." He said the (unidentified) representative alerted him to "irregularities or deficiencies" and said that "Above all, you could speak of a certain secularist mentality that has spread among these religious families, perhaps even a certain 'feminist' spirit."
